Sigma Mixer
The Sigma Mixer, also known as a Dough Mixer, is a heavy-duty industrial mixer specifically designed for kneading, mixing, and homogenizing highly viscous materials, pastes, and dough-like substances. It features a horizontal U-shaped trough with two counter-rotating sigma-shaped blades that provide powerful shearing and folding action for efficient and thorough mixing.
This mixer is ideally suited for processing sticky, semi-solid, or high-viscosity materials commonly found in the pharmaceutical, food, rubber, chemicals, adhesives, and plastic industries.
- Sigma-Shaped Blades: High shear action ensures intense mixing and kneading.
- Robust Construction: Built for heavy-duty, continuous operation.
- Jacketed Bowl (Optional): For heating or cooling during mixing.
- Tilting Mechanism / Bottom Discharge: Easy product removal and cleaning.
- Multiple Blade Configurations: Sigma, double sigma, or Z-blades to suit application.
- Variable Speed (Optional): Controlled via VFD for process flexibility.
- Dough mixing for bakery and food products
- Rubber and plastic compounding
- Adhesives and sealant blending
- Pharmaceutical wet mass and ointments
- Pigments, ink, and printing pastes
- Soap and detergent production
